French Montana is known internationally for hits such as Unforgettable, No Stylist, Pop That, and Ain’t Worried About Nothin’. Over the course of his career, he has also worked with major artists including Drake, The Weeknd, Cardi B, Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Swae Lee.
The South African dates form part of the inaugural AFROTRAX series, which aims to bring together African music, fashion, culture and international entertainment. Organisers say the events will offer more than headline performances, with local artists and DJs, food vendors, lifestyle activations and premium hospitality experiences expected to feature.
The announcement adds another major international name to South Africa’s busy 2026 entertainment calendar, with fans in both cities set to experience French Montana’s catalogue live.
Additional acts and programming for the AFROTRAX events are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
